Keystone Chapter returns to the Upper Peninusla of MI for more tourist activities and riding
The sound of motorcycle engines once again pierced the tranquility of Delta County and beyond. Tank led a group of 7 others throughout the central UP including Escanaba, Manistique and up to Kitch-iti-kipi (The Big Spring). We travelled from Central Wisconsin, north along HWY 41 and HWY 35 to reach the base camp in Escanaba. From that starting point, it was a two day adventure ride through many little towns and great refreshment stops. The Keystone Chapter members and other friends enjoyed this second UP trip with new stops and new friends; with a much awaited return to the Big Springs. The group left the UP headed back to Central Wisconsin with a plethora of dark storm clouds in the rear view. All in all, another amazingly eventful, scenic route with great camaraderie.
